The KG6016 is an NPN capacitive sensor with selectable normally open and normally closed operation. It provides a 0.5–30 mm adjustable sensing range with a 15 mm factory setting. IO-Link enables parameterization and process-data communication. The M18 × 1 housing supports non-flush mounting. A visual adjustment display simplifies switching-point setup.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The KG6016 provides a broad adjustable sensing range. Its factory setting is 15 mm. The sensing point can be adjusted according to target conditions. Capacitive detection allows contactless monitoring. This supports both position and level applications.
The sensor uses NPN electrical design. The output can be selected between normally open and normally closed. This makes the sensor adaptable to different control logic. Its 200 mA switching capability supports standard industrial inputs. Protection features improve operational reliability.
The KG6016 includes switching and adjustment indication. LEDs help operators identify the configured switching point. This simplifies commissioning. The visual indication complements IO-Link parameterization. It can also help during maintenance and troubleshooting.

The M18 × 1 threaded housing provides standard mounting. Non-flush installation supports the specified sensing field. The cylindrical body simplifies machine integration. Industrial protection supports demanding operating conditions. IO-Link provides additional digital control functionality.
Visual switching indication provides local feedback. IO-Link enables remote parameter management. This can reduce machine downtime during sensor replacement. Settings can be reproduced across similar installations. The sensor is therefore useful for standardized machine platforms.
